Geisha and Maiko Hairstyles

This is a charming collection of small busts displaying various geisha and maiko hairstyles. I discovered them at a shrine sale in Osaka; according to the seller they were most likely owned by a hair stylist and displayed in a salon. Each one is only about 11 centimeters tall and 55 grams in weight, yet shows remarkable detail in the hair styling, kanzashi hair accessories and facial expressions.

Please visit my Etsy store to see my collection of vintage and antique Japanese treasures.
